Expected behavior

After starting the dev server and sideloaded the plugins, everything should be working

Current behavior

After the server is started, I begin to sideload it to Word by copying the manifest to the "wef" folder

After the plugin is sideloaded, I just got a screen says loading. After about 30 mins, got a bad sign: "Please sideload your addin to see app body."

Steps to Reproduce

Please provide detailed steps for reproducing the issue.

1. Start the dev-server: npm run dev-server
2. Sideload to word: cp -R $(pwd)/*.xml; ~/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.Word/Data/Documents/wef
3. Load the plugins: Insert -> My Plugins -> My Office-Add in

Have you tried using the 'npm run start' command instead of running the dev-server and trying to manually copy the manifest around?
